If I were a betting man I would say these lights were here to stay. Doubt a bookie would take that bet!!

This morning was the first day with these lights going live and I really noticed a difference in traffic volume around Delancy before 8am.

These small roads will need traffic calming measures at this rate (to be fair they need something now with the pace/volume of traffic around Salt Pans/Bridge/Delancy area these days).

Of course when the four new housing developments, Bridge, Leale’s Yard and the data park eventually all getting sorted the traffic issues now will seem pretty tame in comparison. I guess closing St. Sampson primary will go some ways to help cutting traffic!!?!!! (joke)

That's because of the old 1960's Guernsey version of the Highway Code.I think it's out of print now but I seem to recall as a seventeen year old that it said .. Green is for go.. Amber is for go but hurry.. and red is for well OK just a couple more then

Spot on Ray, the number of 'Amber Gamblers' we have on this island is frightening, but having just spent a week in Jersey (don't worry, I'll get over it :-)) I can report that they suffer from the same ailment over there.

Having also exeprienced the new signals at Bulwer Avenue, I can happily report that they are doing the job they were first intended for - namely managing the numerous traffic movements arising from the Airport Project mass haul, across the junction. Previous 'queues' are now not in evidence... job done:-)
